Rarely this isn't heavily soapy which I found unusual for a Brazilian production The English dubbing is much better than usual.

I watched both series in a week

Both season have pretty heavy content matter so use discretion.

Lead female carries both series well, however some of the support pails in comparison. Never the less it's worth a watch, doesn't get bogged down as these type often do.

Good morning, Veronica is a very nice Brazilian surprise on Netflix. With a good quality script, aided by the excellent criminologist and writer Ilana Casoy, the series features some very credible characters such as the psychopath Brandão and his abused wife, Janete. The direction is convincing, but there is certainly room for improvement. Brazilian crime dramas still suffer a bit, specially in the action scenes and here this can be noticed at times. Not top notch, but good enough. The cast is somewhat uneven. Du Moscovis and Carmila Morgado, in the roles of the problematic couple, are extremely good and convincing. The protagonist, Tainá Müller, feels very restrained and sometimes fails to demonstrate the expected emotions, especially in her family sequences. But she shows some growth throughout the series, improving at the end. Some other actors are ok, but the other policemen and criminals offer nothing more than overacting caricatures, resembling bad characters from soap operas. In general, despite having points which can be improved, it is a very interesting series that is worth watching. Just give it a chance.

I just finished watching season 2, after watching season 1 over again to remind me exactly what happened.

There are a whole slew of things that happen in this TV series that are simply not plausible. But really, the subject matter, acting, and story are so compelling that it really doesn't hinder the viewer from watching it. Frankly I was spellbound throughout the series.

There are a lot of unexpected turns of events and there is a lot of suspense and drama. Definitely adult subject matter and not appropriate for children. The writers are quite courageous in tackling some difficult topics that many writers may tend to avoid. Don't want to give too many details away. But aside from the in your face abuse of women, this series touches on subjects such as fanaticism, femicide, cultic mind control based abuse, strange cultic religious beliefs and practices, and a plethora of sinister mafia based activity and infiltration of various agencies including police authorities.

Apparently some or maybe a lot of the subject matter is based on real events. It kind of reminds me of Eyes Wide Shut in that people wielding incredible power are doing extreme evil right under peoples' noses or behind the scenes and no one seems to suspect a thing. Or if they did suspect a thing they didn't live very long. Along comes Veronica who gets curious and starts her own investigation which leads her into discovery of crimes that stagger the imagination. In effect going in where angels fear to tread. As each horrific detail is discovered by Veronica, the deeper she gets involved, until she is in over her head. But somehow she musters up the resolve, courage and strength to not give up. She gets help along this hellish journey from some very courageous people.

The number one plus of this series besides the unique story line and suspense is the great acting by Taina Muller and she is a looker too. As others have said her acting itself actually gets better throughout the two seasons. Some of the other acting is somewhat uneven but overall very convincing.

I was glued to my TV to watch every second of it and it really kept my attention on high alert. Which is the mark of an entertaining TV series. Definitely the best thing out of Brazil that I have seen, and rivals many of the best foreign crime dramas from many other countries. The ending looks like it will result in a season 3.

American writers & directors should take notes! I've enjoyed the culturally sprinkled series & movies over the years that Netflix offer But the Brazilian series are the most authentic and well acted. Didn't think I would ever give a crime series a 10 (Perfect Score)!

Liked it a lot. Heroine was made to be weak at times, strong at others. There has to be room for growth or it will be a one season show

I liked the series a lot. It's so tense and scary.I was on the verge all the time afraid of what might happen next. The show does a great job in depicting abuse both mental and physical. It has a strong female lead who I liked and sympathized. This is a good detective series, one of the best for the last year. It should definitely get more publicity.

Yes, as I said the show has started with a good premise... And is suspenseful and keeps us a li'l guessing... Let's see where it takes us...

I think this is the best brazilian show on Netflix ever.

I'm not brazilian but if you gonna watch it, keep in the original language!!!

It's so unique, brilliant and goosebumps

I understand that many ideas in "Good Morning, Veronica" may be very similar to other productions and that the script may not even be very good, a little predictable, not very innovative etc. But other than that, the story is still very engaging, the suspense works well, and the acting and the more technical aspects such as the action scenes are very good here, especially if we compare it to other Brazilian productions. Even though it was short, I really liked this last season. As a whole, I think it's a series worth checking out, especially for those who already like other shows in the same genre.

Really good. Worth seeing it! Great direction, acting and photography.

Started with this one at Netflix because of Covid ofcourse. I didn't regret it. If you like shows with a sparkling opening, a original set of characters and a very very VERY nasty villain, this is yours to be consumed. Forget the minor time errors and a few plotholes, this is a admirable and sometimes breathtaking trip. Have fun!

It is a great show, I agree .... A must see...from Brasil. I am impressed. Reminded me the australian movie : Hounds of love. Great job, bravo!

Good Morning, Veronica: Veronica witnesses a woman's suicide in her homicide unit and what starts off as an investigation into a conman who drugs and robs women soon takes a grimmer turn. A serial killer is also at work. Noir isn't a dark enough word to describe this Brazilian drama which is replete with disturbing scenes of violence, torture and murder. A tale of conspiracy and police/political corruption stretching back for generations unfolds. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Created by Raphael Montes who wrote the novel it's based on. Eight episodes, on Netflix. 8/10.

If anything season 2 of Good Morning, Veronica is even better. The conspiracy deepens as Veronica has to combat a powerful Religious Cult leader with mafia links. The cult runs human trafficking, infiltration of the police and government. Children at an orphanage run by the Cult are trained to fill these positions or become mercenaries, those who don't make the cut are trafficked. Veronica is on the run but she has helpers. Her family and the world at large believe that she is dead. Some horrifying scenes, again not for the squeamish. The constant tension is maintained throughout the narrative as Veronica uncovers more dark secrets. Some of this disturbing hidden history is personal to Veronica. Six episodes on Netflix. 8.5/10.

Just 3 episodes in Season 3 but it neatly wraps things up with yet darker and even more depraved transgressions being uncovered. While the serial killer elements remained throughout the series, the Cultic, conspiracy and corruption tropes involving a perfect intersection of mafia, church, police and politics moved to the foreground. I highly recommend Good Morning, Veronica. On Netflix. 9/10.

One of the best and most original crime series I've seen in my (approx) 50 years of watching TV. Agree with everything the other 10 out of 10s say - plus a massive shout out for the performances of Camila Morgado as Janete Cruz, the abused woman and Eduardo Moscovis as Cláudio Antunes Brandão, her abusive, murderous partner. Utterly convincing. Bravo to all involved in this series!

The show has mastered gross violence, cruelty and typical Brazilian corruption. Sadly yhe main character appears to be an idiot. Must be written by Brazilian men who don't typically respect intelligent women...very much like the Argentinian men.

So a 'cop' going after corrupt cops uses personal phone? Uses own license plates on motorcycle? Has childish meltdowns at the precinct? Doesn't keep all evidence on thumb drives and have a few secure hiding spots? Doesn't have some reporters outside Brazil and w/in as recipients of said evidence in case she has to hide or is killed? Doesn't wear gloves when committing a crime/breaking in? Doesn't plant listening or tracking devices on suspects? Doesn't shoot to kill in one situation that would have saved someone she cared about because she got emotional? Pathetic and insulting and typical.

Text, script, production, scenes, images, actors, interpretations; everything is perfect in the Bom Dia, Verônica series!

The book is also amazing!

Good series I hope to be season 2.

And all female so hot.

This show is totally awesome and had me transfixed from the start. Although I was a little disappointed in the final episode, it does set itself up beautifully for a second season. There are multiple storylines running at once, which keeps you engaged. Lots of clever twists and turns. Just when you think you have things figured out, it throws you down another S bend 😯. But be warned, the themes are very confronting and it is violent, so this is definitely not for the faint hearted.

Some of the supporting acting is so-so, but the lead performances by Taina Muller as the titular Veronica, Camila Morgado and Eduardo Moscovis are absolutely riveting! In particular, Moscovis expertly portrays one of the vilest characters I can remember. He truly is revolting, but that is great acting 🎭 .

Can't wait for season 2

I have been impressed by the Korean Japanese and now Brazilian shows that have recently been made. This show has a strange title given the story content translated from Portuguese the show is Good morning Veronica? The only qualifier in this show is the detectives name being Veronica! The story is very dark with sexual physical abuse date rape onto human trafficking and the involvement within this of leading figures in the police lawyers members of government making it a complex story that keeps you guessing and gripped yes there are many plot holes and totally unreasonable actions from the female detective but you have to brush them to one side on the basis this is a story and by that to keep it flowing and gripping I guess she does things that most intelligent people would do differently anyway that aside hats off they did a good job in a difficult to digest storyline.

Marvel, incredible cast and a story that will hold you from beginning to end. and most importantly, a necessary message against domestic violence suffered by many women worldwide
